We are now busily making vital contacts for our Ocean voyage.  These contacts are to be found at bars, dinners and receptions throughout the marina - its hard work, but someone has to do it.  We (sorry, I) have ordered to veggies, fruit and meat from the local Selfridges.  Delivery is Thursday.  The personal shopper who came with this service was, however, brilliant.  Tom enjoys queuing for hours in the chandlers - I however was treated to a personable English speaking assistant walking me through my shopping list, stopping butchers in their various tasks to enquire about the possibility of boned chickens!  Anyway enough of that - here's some pictures from today, including greetings from Tolstoy and the boyz.
